TI1K OREGON STATESMAN: FKIlJAY, MAY 14.1!
FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
Yaulet Chops. Aitor traveling
through the different portions of Linn
county, and conversing with olwerving
farmers from different sections, it is ascer
tained that crops are looking remarkably
well throughout the county. Wheat, es
pecially, is very promising, Wing very
Walthy in color and thrifty in growth.
It promises n unusual large yield. Win
ter oats are more thrifty than wheat, and
promises to make a large crop. Spring
grain has been unusimllv favored by
growing weather, and. from present in
dications, will not fall much below tail
own grain this season. Oiserviug strain
producers put the yield of fall wheat for
tiie coming crop at about twenty bushels
per acre. "With the present upward ten
dency of the wheat market and a chh1
croj) promised, the outiook for farmers
can lie said to be Hattering. Albany

That Compucatep Cask. In yester
day's issue in speaking of the withdrawal
by President Cleveland of the nomination
of Mr. Green as consul at Kobe, Japan,
some errors appear. First, his name is
Warren Green of Louisville, Kentucky,
son of lr. Norvin Green, president of the
Western Union telegraph company, and
not Norvin Green as stated. Second, he
was not appointed as consul to Kobe,
consequently was not Mr. Patton's suc
cessor. He was appointed early in May,
lSSii, to succeed Gen. T. B. Van Bureu
at Kanagawa, Yokohoma. Being a Ken
tuckian by birth and an intimate friend
and companion oi Boyd Winchester, his
knowledge of the noble game of poker
was displayed to the foreign population
at Yokohoma with disastrous effects to
his private exchequer, hence the objec
tion of the committee on foreign rela
tions of the senate to his confirmation,
and subsequent withdrawal by the presi
dent. A brigadier-general of North
Carolina named Jernigan, was appoint
ed as Mr. Patton's successor, but the
senate has refused confirmation, and he
still lingers on American soil, watching,
waiting and hoping. The duties ot the
office at Kobe are performed by a vice
consul, his compensation must necessar
ily come through the chief officer. As
the new applicant cannot draw his salary
untii he enters upon his duties, the query
arises, who is consul at Kobe, aud who
draws the salary? This is the eouiplicat
en part of the ease.

Another Brass Band. Salem is not
going to be outdone. Koseburg will not
be able to "boast" the "only juvenile
brass band in Oregon," iu a few days.
There is music in the air, and a whole
lot more arrived by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express yesterday, from 'Portland.
There were eleven brass instruments in
the package, and they will lie "blowed"
by the same number of young boys in
the near future, under the tutorship of
Prof. J. M. Coomer, leader of the 11. A.
C. band. The boys will prolwblv adopt
the name, "Salem Juvenile Band," but
that appears indefinite, yet. The list of
members will le ready for publication by
the first issue of this pajwr in the coming
week. The instruments are all brass, of
French manufacture, light and hand
some, and very beautiful in tone. They
were purchased of Koehler & Chase, of
Portland, at an average cost of $20.70
each. It is understood that the boys
who intend takiug parts in the band have
considerable natural musical taleut, and
will undoubtedly make creditable music
in time. Success to you, boys.

Second of the Series The 0 b Vic
torious Hotly Contested
2tl to -21.
The ball game Friday drew a big
crowd to the depot, notwithstanding the
fact that the weather was not very propi
tious. The game was enjoyed by the
onlookers and a good, friendly spirit ani
mated the players. The playing was not
so good as might have been expected,
several errors being made, and McCiilly,
of the Owls, making a home run by a
good bat. The Owls batted Click's
pitching from the start, and the game
soon became close. The innings were
played aliout as follows :
First Inning The Owl club ojxMied up
by Smith, who led off with a three base
bit, followed by Baxter and l'atsoii, who
each made their second on errors snd
struck round, scoring seven points. The
IVmbtfiils seem rattled, and started off
badly, the catcher lieing disabled and
pitcher was knocked dow n by Fenton on a
wild throw. They put Mattock ixdini.t
the liat and restored Clark to conscious
ness. The ltoubtfuls scored onlv one
tally.
Second Inning. The Owls again touk

that the building would go, and could not

and the walls remain standing; but the

the walls fell in.
